Commodity price risk is the risk of incurring a loss due to changes in commodity prices, generated by maintaining open positions on particular types of goods.
The objective of commodity price risk management is to reduce potential losses resulting from changes in commodity prices to the acceptable level by influencing the structure of balance sheet and off-balance sheet commodity positions.
Commodity price risk is managed by imposing limits on instruments generating the commodity price risk, monitoring their use and reporting the risk level.
The effect of commodity price risk on the Group's financial position is immaterial.
